It's hard to believe that this weekend marks the first anniversary of the wild Bronco chase. Doesn't it feel as if we ran to our sets for our first breathless glimpse of A. C. Cowlings at least three years ago? Time doesn't fly when you're not having fun. Though conventional wisdom now says that the O. J. Simpson case has no redeeming social or intellectual value as a landmark in jurisprudence or anything else, it has nonetheless hijacked our culture. You don't have to follow the trial to be affected by it. You can't escape no matter how hard you try.

INTERNATIONAL PAPER WITHDRAWS BID FOR HOLVIS
Date: 14 June 1995
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
A day after an unfavorable court ruling, the International Paper Company of Purchase, N.Y., withdrew its offer yesterday to acquire Holvis Holzstoff A.G. of Switzerland, clearing the way for the BBA Group of Britain to proceed with a rival bid nearly 10 percent lower than that of the American company. International Paper had contended that Holvis acted illegally in recommending the BBA offer, which valued the fiber maker and paper distributor at 443 million Swiss francs, or $382 million, compared with the bid by the American company of 487 million Swiss francs. It also objected to an agreement that Holvis had reached to sell its Fiberweb unit to BBA even if the British company did not succeed in acquiring all of Holvis. On Monday, however, the Basel Civil Court rejected those complaints, lifting a temporary injunction blocking the Holvis directors from selling 67,025 shares in the company to BBA.
